Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application claims the benefit of priority from Chinese Patent Application No. 201910770078.4, filed on Aug. 20, 2019. The content of the aforementioned application, including any intervening amendments thereto, is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
TECHNICAL FIELD
This application relates to gypsum-based mortars, and more particularly to a gypsum-based mortar capable of absorbing formaldehyde to purify the air and a method of making the same.
BACKGROUND
Currently, more and more new building and decoration materials such as various artificial boards, adhesives and coatings, are developed and increasingly used in the interior decoration. However, the development of the interior decoration has gradually led to serious indoor environmental pollution. At the same time, with increasing attention paid to the living environment closely associated with the life quality, indoor gas pollutants, especially formaldehyde, have become more and more intolerable. Since many materials used in the decoration of homes and offices, such as decorative coatings, paints and adhesives used in the artificial boards, can release formaldehyde to the air, the formaldehyde will accumulates at a high level in the newly-decorated buildings, and even greatly exceed the national standards. Long-term exposure to formaldehyde will cause headache and weakness, and even cancers, such as oral cancer, skin cancer, lung cancer and leukemia. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a method of effectively removing the formaldehyde in the air.
Currently, the problem of formaldehyde pollution is mainly solved by: (1) continuously reducing the formaldehyde in the decoration materials; and (2) developing decorative materials capable of absorbing, however, the effect of the first method is limited.
Indoor air purification materials are divided into: (1) physical purification materials including activated carbon, silica gel and zeolite, where the activated carbon has good adsorption performance and wide application, but has slow adsorption and low adsorption index for low concentration of harmful gases; (2) chemical purification materials including photocatalysts and negative ion materials, where the photocatalysts, with TiO2 as a representative, have wide application, but are limited due to the requirement of ultraviolet radiation; and the negative ion materials can eliminate the harmful substances through the redox reaction; and (3) biological purification materials, mainly including green plants and biological enzymes. In addition to the above purification materials, there are still some commercially-available purification products, such as air purifiers, purification coatings, spraying liquid products and solid adsorption materials. Among the products, the coatings, as building materials, are commonly used, but they have poor aging resistance due to the presence of organic materials. Moreover, diatomite-based decorative materials, mainly imported from South Korea and Japan, are also widely applied, but they still involve many defects, for example, these materials have only a single adsorption function and no catalytic action, and may undergo adsorption saturation and desorption; these materials have large alkalinity, which will affect the human health; and these materials have poor water resistance and durability. Given the above, it is required to develop a multifunctional solid inorganic purification material.
SUMMARY
An object of this application is to provide a gypsum-based mortar and a method of making the same to overcome the defect in the prior art that there is lack of a material capable of effectively absorbing formaldehyde in the air.

Principles of the invention are described as follows.
The gypsum-based mortar of the invention adopts gypsum as an inorganic cementing material, which contributes to the formation of mechanical properties of the mortar. Moreover, the gypsum can also form a hydration structure with numerous fine pores. Diatomite is a biogenic silicastone, and shows excellent adsorption to formaldehyde due to its loose, light and porous (dominated by mesopores) structure with regular distribution of voids. However, since the porous diatomite only has the function of formaldehyde adsorption, it is required to introduce a nano-TiO2 catalyst to promote the decomposition of the formaldehyde adsorbed by the porous structure of the diatomite, maintaining the adsorption durability. The negative ion powder can release negative ions with one or more negative charges, which are capable of reducing reactive oxygen generated by the pollutants, nitrogen oxides and smokes in the air, reducing the damage of excessive reactive oxygen to human health. In addition, the negative ion powder can also neutralize the positively-charged floating dust to make it aggregate and settle, thereby purifying the air. The inorganic pigment has good durability, and the combination of different inorganic pigments can present various colors. Given the above, a gypsum-based mortar, which is capable of adsorbing formaldehyde to purify the air, releasing negative oxygen ions to regulate humidity and providing multi-colored decorative effect, can be prepared based on the proper combination of such raw materials.
Compared to the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects.
(1) The gypsum-based hydration structure together with the diatomite enables the gypsum-based mortar to have a formaldehyde adsorption rate of 75% or more.
(2) The nano-TiO2 catalyst allows the gypsum-based mortar to have a formaldehyde purification durability of 70% or more.
(3) The use of a negative ion powder makes the negative ions released by the gypsum-based mortar reach 10000 icon/cm3 or more.
(4) The inorganic pigment enables the gypsum-based mortar to have a decorative effect.
With the increasing attention to the living environment closely associated with the life quality, there is a need to develop a multi-functional building material. In this regard, the invention provides a gypsum-based mortar having multiple functions of air purification, humidity regulation and decoration herein to meet various requirements.
